    Wouldn’t be surprised if this was some garbage ploy by Microsoft/shitty developers to make Linux look bad for being unsupported to increase the spyware that microsfot peddles

    To eliminate this cheat vector, we have made the decision to prevent access to the game for Linux users. This means that Apex Legends will be unplayable immediately for those running this operating system. Playing on handhelds, such as the Steam Deck, is still possible if the user opts to install Windows.

    translates to them cutting off linux support so people will be forced to use approved operating systems like Windows which will require more hardware which means more money for those companies and more intrusive anti cheat software that gives users data away

    way more than just about Windows and some games

    this is about locking users into approved environments with no wiggle room just like on Tron
